The Not-That-Exciting Full Roster of Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Revealed
Alas, poor Midway. I’m sure they were hoping to announce the remaining DC characters in some fancy-shmancy way, but when they submitted the game’s Achievements list to Microsoft, that effectively announced the full roster. It’s not even that exciting, sadly. I’m not going to even bother with the Mortal Kombat characters, since no one cares about them, but joining the previously announced Batman, Catwoman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Joker, Deathstroke and the Flash will be:
? Darkseid
? Lex Luthor
? Shazam
Uhh…and that’s it. Three more characters. Overall, only one female superhero, and not even a full Justice League. Not even Sinestro as a re-model of the Green Lantern characters. Hell, not even Zoom as a yellow Flash alternate costume. As much as I gave this game shit, I was certainly interested in it. Now…not so much. (Via Kotaku)
